Today my darling wife took a sudden turn for the worse. Sadly she passed away this evening. My heart is absolutely broken tonight. I can't even describe how much I will miss her. Her smile, her laugh which came from deep in her belly. She loved life and was continually looking for some way to brighten somebody's day. I know however that one day we will see each other again. Heaven's gain is our loss
Oh no. Brian, I am left without words. I am so very, very sorry for your loss and cannot imagine how you are coping right now. Sending you my sincerest condolences. You have to hang onto your sweet memories of Melody. She will always be by your side. xx
Oh no I’m so very sorry 😢 for your loss, I can really relate to what you are feeling I lost my partner just 5 weeks ago… I can’t begin to give any advice other than just hang onto those beautiful memories they will keep you strong in the coming days, take care of yourself and give yourself the space to grieve 💔
Oh Brian, my heart breaks for you. The hope of Heaven brings comfort, but it doesn't stop the pain of loss. Reaching my love out to you across the miles and sending my deepest heartfelt sympathies. One day at at time, one moment at a time. So much for you to process and walk through. Dear beautiful Melody. Much missed already but left a legacy of laughter and kindness behind her. God bless and help you in all you need daily. xxx
Ooh Brian, I am so sorry to hear this and my heartfelt sympathy and condolences goes to you at this which must be your darkest hour. God Bless and help you through these days of sorrow . Take Care .
Oh no Brian so sorry to hear this. Your heart must be breaking. Along with you Melody has been such a big part of 365 over the years. So sorry for your loss. Take care
Oh, Brian
That is absolutely heart breaking! My deepest and sincerest condolences to you for your loss.
I will send prayers for you and your family during these trying times.
Brian I am so sorry to hear of your very sad loss. My Deepest Sympathy and thoughts are with you . Melody will always be with you until you meet again.
A beautiful photo of Melody with her lovely smile I burst into tears as soon as I saw it.
This is very sad news and my thoughts are with you in this very difficult time, you guys were some of my first followers and I feel as if I know you in a small way because of the 365 community. Stay safe.
Brian— I haven’t experienced what you’re going through, so I won’t presume to have helpful words of wisdom. I will only say Godspeed as you journey on and hope you have friends and family to lean on.💔☮️
I’m so sorry to hear! What a lovely person and you’ve written a beautiful tribute to her. When reading it, makes me feel like I know her! There’s a Christian song with lyrics similar to this title of yours, it’s called, He Keeps Me Singing.
So shocked to read this. After that small window of hope I read too. You are in all our thoughts & your Faith will be your biggest comfort over the next months. Melody will be remembered with love here on 365 & I hope the support here will help in a very small way. @casablanca said it perfectly. Love to you &your family at this dark time.
Ooh, Brian! I'm so sorry! This is terribly sad! Your heart must be breaking into a million pieces! You have written a beautiful piece about your dear Melody. What a lovely person, and she was your soul mate, your love! I sincerely hope that your faith and the great support of family and friends will help you through this unbearably difficult time. My deepest condolences to you, Brian! Take good care! xo
We are so sorry to hear this news, Brian, and you are in our prayers. I read this this morning, and all day I've been humming In My Heart There Sings a Melody of Love. I thought about how perfect her name is, named by a musical family, but how she lived up to it in every way. Here is another song I've had in my head today, for you, I'm sure you know it.
Does Jesus care when I've said goodbye
to the dearest on Earth to me?
When my sad heart aches till it almost breaks
Is it aught to Him, does He see?
Oh yes, He cares! I know He cares
His heart is touched by my grief
When the days are weary, the long nights dreary,
I know my saviour cares.
Oh no, Brian, I am so sorry to hear this. Your tribute is so meaningful and you've shared a lovely picture of Melody smiling her beautiful smile. I'm glad that you have friends, family and your strong faith to help you at this time. I will continue to pray for you.
I'm so very sorry to hear this, was so wishing for a different outcome obviously - sending you and your family my very best wishes and condolences for you to come through this difficult time - hang on to those lovely memories.
Such very sad news Brian, especially since she had shown signs of improvement the day before. Katharine and I will pray for you at this very painful time. At least you have the comfort that one day you and Melody will be reunited in heaven. This is a beautiful shot of Melody.
I'm so sorry to hear your sad news, having lost my husband 2 years ago this week, my heart goes out to you. My deepest sympathy to you and all your family. A lovely photo of Melody.
So very sorry to read your latest posts. What a lovely photo you have shared here. There is never a good time to 'lose' the love of your life. Sincerely hope you feel surrounded by love and care and a very real sense of God's presence in each day. 💛🥰🙏
Oh Brian, I am so sad to hear of Melody's passing.
You & Melody shared together in so many ways in helping others.
My prayers are with you & I know you will have so many to support you now.
Brian I'm so sorry for your loss. Melody seemed like such a sweet lady and you guys were a great couple. You have saved her memory for everyone with the great pictures you shared.
Brian, I had so hoped and prayed for a miracle such as mine, but I trust the Lord's answer and now have a heavy heart for you. I feel like Melody was a dear friend although we'd never met. You two were a team and such an inspiration! I know your work for the Lord is not done, but to Melody, He is saying, "Well done! My good and faithful daughter!!" She was a beautiful song that lived up to her name and I'm glad your family is close to help anchor you through this time of sadness. I hope your 365 family is also a support to you too- it was for me during a time of a different kind of loss. Please know that you are in my thoughts, my prayers and my heart as a dear brother in the Lord. The wonderful hope we have is an amazing reunion awaits us all- may the Lord find us faithfully honoring Him and those who've gone before us until that celebration takes place!! I love this picture of Melody- especially the hat because I know she loved wearing them, her smile (one of the best!) and the white flowers- so much like heaven. I'm envious of the joy she's experiencing now, but holding you close in thought with heartfelt sympathy and prayers.
Brian, my condolences on your very sad loss. You and Melody are in my prayers in the kmowledge that God will now be smiling on Melody and that your love for each other is eternal. 🙏
Brian, i'm very sorry for your loss. actually i just found out last night when one of my pigster friends told me (she was here in toronto visiting). my home feed had been heavy with other 365ers multiple postings for several days so this post got buried. no excuses, i know. i've always complimented about Melody's smile. she will be missed. please console yourself that at least she is now at peace with the good Lord. my prayers are for you and your family.
Brian I am so sorry to read of passing away of Melody, you and all the family are in my thoughts and prayers. She is at peace and home with her heavenly who is also holding and supporting you in His arms of love.
Romans 15:13 has just come to me. May the God of Hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. God bless you
This is such a sad, sad thing to hear. You know you will miss her and have listed the ways: all the things you loved so much. My deepest sympathy to you - and to all Melody's family, friends and community.
@olivetreeann Ann my dear friend thank you for these beautiful words and your amazing support. I am not asking Why Lord but rather What Now. I have been overwhelmed in a good way all of the support I have experienced including so many of my 365 friends
Oh Brian, I am so sorry. You and Melody had a lovely life, I’m so glad you have all of those wonderful memories. Prayers for comfort for you and your dear family.
What a marvelous portrait of your beloved Melody! Although I haven't truly known you both as so many others here obviously have, I do send my deepest sympathy in this great loss of yours!
Brian, I am just catching up on posts I missed over the last several days, and I am so very sad to learn this news. It was obvious that you and Melody truly enjoyed each other. Your many photos will help to keep those memories alive. I hope that your family and community are wrapping you up in care and love. My deepest sympathies.
I am truly sorry for the loss of your wife. It sounds like you had a love we all dream about. I lost my husband 7 years ago and I thought I wouldn't survive but with the support of friends, family and the passage of time healing comes. You will be in my thoughts & prayers!
I have been so far behind on 365. What tragic news. I am so sorry for your loss. I know how close you were. You had a great love and will see her again. Take good care, Brian.
That is absolutely heart breaking! My deepest and sincerest condolences to you for your loss.
I will send prayers for you and your family during these trying times.
